Albert Tatlock

He was finally about to play The Unwelcome Guest but ran out of time before the curfew?

The new set of quills are working out just fine. Ta.

Aah to sink into the warm comforting blanket of a Bbop concert review on a Sunday afternoon with a mug of tea in hand. Ta.

To quote the late great Bill McLaren "They'll be dancing in the streets of Pontypool tonight!"

Ha! Funny. I actually find Noel quite entertaining for his honesty when interviewed etc. and sort of like him (not Liam though), but as far as the music is concerned I found Oasis really painfully derivative (the obvious influence) and apart from a handful of tracks can't listen to their banal cut and paste lyrics. Plus, their tickets are even more expensive and I never go to stadium shows - there is a certain thrill to being in a big crowd but I have got that from Wales sports events over the years. Music in big arenas is a non-starter for me - you're just watching the screens not the an

I know - which makes it even worse/more sedate.

Yes indeed. I decided I could but did not want to go that high. I don't feel the spark of excitement about the thought of going to see them live that I used to (though still listen a lot etc. and liked Cousin very much) - shows just seem too sedate for me now and if I see someone live I don't just want it to be like listening to the records but standing up the whole time. The only acts off the top of my head that I want to see are CMAT / Yard Act / Mary Wallopers (or Macca in a small venue of course but that's not going to happen and at his age he probably wouldn't match my expectations anyway

The more important question is: is @bböp touring in 2025?

But Woody did write Someday Some Morning Sauerkraut.

That’s a better cover than practically any previous Wilco release - so much for all those so called creative teams involved before. Wonder if they’ll have copyright issues from the manufacturers of the other stickers that have been used though . . .

Very interesting. Thanks for the reply. Good luck for the future!

I was browsing a couple of rock photo books in a bookshop yesterday from "renowned" photographers. It seemed to me that 99% of them were very ordinary shots and where they showed contact sheets you could see that they just banged out a load of snaps and just happened to get a few that were OK. It just so happened that the artist in the picture was extraordinary and that was what made them interesting e.g. Beatles (which I admit I spent most of my time looking at). I didn't see anything more special in terms of photography than what I see here. A lot were not even good technically -

Dark Matter by Michelle Paver. Not reading but listening. Spooky stuff and the readers voice is great to doze off to. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000c4pv/episodes/player

The Outlaws Series 3. (on BBC not Prime as the video here - I don't pay to view anything). Christopher Walken is not a main character this time but I believe he does feature a bit later on. Stephen Merchant's witty one liners still sparkle. I saw him live interviewing Jarvis Cocker for an hour for a radio show once and that was hilarious.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I don't think we've ever kissed though. Having Annihilation, Hot Sun and Meant To Be has given recent setlists a more spritely feel IMHO and I would be much more interested in seeing the again now.

Yeah - but I like how VC remains a 'safe space' for differing considered opinions rather than the sycophantic FB place.

Pretty clear sound - nice

True enough, he has dumb ramblings all over the place.

The King is dead. Long live the King! Ta

Swoon . . . (For Cruyff not ol' scary thighs).

O Bbop, Bbop, wherefore art thou Bbop?
